Its front logo still doesn't look like it's been placed in the centre, so I doubt that they were taken off!

Both 27709 (PO11 BBU) and 27778 (PO12 HTC) ADL Enviro300 Integrals are back home on the 53-CROSBY route today.

Odd that both Stagecoach and Arriva are operating buses that have been used as Olympic Shuttle buses in London recently on this 53 route.

I seen this bus travelling via Glovers Lane in Netherton this afternoon - possibly to Crosby to cover for a faulty bus...?

Also, Renown S452 KCW (21111) was on the 20:

Plenty of Enviro300s were on the 17/19, Liverpool-bound, this evening...

Just seen what I believe to be Stagecoachs Hope Uni liveried Trident with its front end up in the air near Islington (not sure of the exact name of the road but I think its along the 20/21 route just after where it goes straight ahead and the 19 and so on turn right!). I think it was a SC one, only seen the back end so im going off the shape of the back window compared to Speke B7s!

I operated that rail replacement when I worked at Chorley except two Solos were used. Mind you, it was a Sunday evening and I think the most I carried at one time was eight!

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
I'm pretty certain Gillmoss operated this rail replacement service earlier this year only then they used Plaxton SLF Darts, not to sure why its only running as far as Widness though when the line is actually shut through to Liverpool Lime Street, unless your meant to change to another bus/coach at Widness

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
I think these are specifically for the East Midlands Trains diversion - I presume there will be shuttle between Warrington Central and Newton-le-Willows for TPE as well as a full line replacement between Liverpool and Manchester Oxford Road for Northern services.
